Getting Started

As a global blogger, you are joining a pioneering group of students working to share the NYU experience with an audience that is both within and beyond our university’s global network — and it all starts here.

The following instructions will help you create your individual blog for THIS IS NYU and register to be a part of our team in 15 minutes or fewer. Don't let the multiple steps below scare you: we've simply broken the process down into bite-sized pieces to help you every step of the way.

PART 1: HOW IT WORKS

THIS IS NYU is a collection of student experiences. As a student blogger, you will create your own blog on Tumblr and fill it with stories about campus events, your favorite pizza slice, class trips, art around town — and so much more.

The best posts from around the world are shared on the main THIS IS NYU page by global editors in New York who are looking for great photos, videos, and posts that capture what it's like to be in your shoes.

PART 2: CREATE YOUR BLOG ON TUMBLR

If you don't have a Tumblr blog, the following steps will walk you through creating your account and customizing your blog's theme. If you already have a Tumblr blog, you will need to create a "secondary blog" for THIS IS NYU.
